Evolve

  • Author: Frank Price, Virginia Vaughan
  • Subject: Science and Technology
  • Institution Name: BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium
  • Collection: BioQUEST Library OnLine
  • Grade Level: Post-secondary
  • Abstract: Evolve allows students to model evolution and get quick results from population genetics experiments.

    With Evolve, you can control:
    * the starting population size
    * overall population size
    * intensity of natural selection
    * pattern of inheritance
    * proportion of migration in a hypothetical population

    Learners could develop:
    * a better understanding of evolutionary processes and their interactions
    * the ability to differentiate between the effects of fecundity and survival in natural selection
    * a firmer grasp of some important concepts of Mendelian genetics
    * a greater understanding of experimental design and the use of models

    A Windows version in currently in beta-testing.
